2025 Fantasy Outlook
Porter has established himself as a strong corner over his first two professional seasons, and he should retain a starting job as an outside cornerback in 2025, even after the Steelers brought in Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey. Porter played at least 95 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps in 15 of his 16 regular-season appearances last year and logged 70 tackles (53 solo), an interception and seven pass defenses. Porter will maintain a significant role in Pittsburgh's secondary this year. Read Past Outlooks

Porter (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings in Dublin, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Porter will miss his third straight game due to the hamstring injury, which had limited him in practice throughout Week 4 prep. With Porter sidelined again, the Steelers will likely go with Brandin Echols as their slot cornerback, while Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay serve as Pittsburgh's primary options on the outside.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Porter was a second-round pick by the Steelers last year and showed some promise, appearing in all 17 games and totaling 43 tackles (32 solo), an interception and 10 pass defenses. He was on the field for at least 90 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the final 10 games of the regular season, and he should enter the 2024 campaign as Pittsburgh's top option at cornerback after Patrick Peterson was let go during the offseason.
Porter played at Penn State for four years and tallied 77 tackles (60 solo), an interception and 15 pass defenses over his final two collegiate seasons. The 6-3, 193-pounder faced some concerns about his ability to cover downfield without drawing the attention of the refs while with the Nittany Lions, but in the Steelers' scheme, he'll likely have his tasks fine-tuned to his strengths such that it should be a close to an ideal fit. Porter should compete for a starting role ahead of the coming season and his talent makes him an intriguing secondary piece as a rookie.

September 23, 2025
Porter has a chance to play in Week 4 against the Vikings,Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Porter has been sidelined the last two games with a hamstring injury. He wasn't able to practice in any capacity leading into Pittsburgh's Week 3 win over the Patriots, so he'll need to make significant progress to be back Sunday for the Steelers' showdown against Minnesota in Ireland. Porter's status will be even more important, given that Darius Slay is also dealing with a leg injury.
